The Genius of SmartBells for Fitness,Therapy and Training

The SmartBell by ThinkFit is up to some new genius in the applications of resistive strengthening for the fitness, sports training and physical therapy industry. I was originally introduced to the SmartBell in 2007, and have been hooked by the simple and diverse application in my physical therapy office(Bauer Physical Therapy, Laguna Hills). In my practice of have used the SmartBell, a sculpted weight that provides fluid movement, and a variety of grip options, applying this to rehabilitation clients recovering from injury, and returning to activity; in the gym, at home or on the athletic field.

The Genius Applications of SmartBells

This weekend I attended the IDEA Fitness World Convention 2013 in Los Angeles and discussed with David Grove, President and CEO of ThinkFit, some of the new developments that are taking place with The SmartBell by ThinkFit.





The big change is the ability to attach your smartphone to the front of the SmartBell. This will allow you to perform HIIT, listen to your mp3 player, or watch a video of SmartBell specific training videos. There is now a downloadable application to not only watch a video, but create an video. You will also be able to track your caloric expediture.

You can visit ThinkFit and purchase your own SmartBell and begin to discover the creativity that exists when you place one, or two of these in your hand(s).
